I think the comment from AOC 1 Gp in 2011 as ODH gives a fair impression of the mentality:
'Our calculation of a Tolerable and ALARP [situation] without CWS was audited by the MAA recently without adverse comment. So assuming the SofS is happy to hold Societal risk we can save some money!'
[Ref:Page 263]
Given the amount of letters the DG MAA wrote at the time articulating his belief that it was not Tolerable & ALARP I am not even sure the AOC's comments were even accurate.
